Cervical cancer has a much higher chance of being cured when diagnosed early. Unfortunately, there are far too many cases of patients who were misdiagnosed or failed to be diagnosed with cervical cancer because of a medical professional’s error. When this happens, cervical cancer can continue to spread and cause bodily damage that may have been avoidable if it had been properly diagnosed earlier.
A Nassau County cervical cancer lawyer is here to help you. Our experienced attorneys understand medical negligence and could secure compensation for your losses.
Most cases of cervical cancer are detected through a cervical cancer screening, which involves a doctor performing a Pap smear during a pelvic examination. The doctor uses a small brush or swab to remove cells from the cervix area, so the cells can be examined under a microscope to check for cancerous or pre-cancerous cells. If there are abnormalities, the next step is usually having a colposcopy, which allows the doctor to take a biopsy from the cervix to check for cancer.
Doctors and other medical professionals could make the following mistakes that may lead to a cervical cancer misdiagnosis:
Any of these errors could lead to a misdiagnosis, which potentially allows the cancer to go untreated. An attorney in Nassau County could build a cervical cancer claim around any of these errors.
Patients who have suffered from the severe stages of cervical cancer because it was misdiagnosed in the early stages may be able to receive compensation for their losses. In these cases, damages are typically monetary. Cervical cancer patients may be able to collect money to cover medical expenses and loss of wages, and they may receive compensation for the unnecessary pain and suffering they experienced and the long-term negative impact on the quality of their life.
Dealing with cancer at any stage can be traumatic and painful. A cervical cancer lawyer in Nassau County could help gather the evidence needed to demonstrate the errors that were made by medical professionals and the extent of the losses.
